Survive. At any cost.

10 concentration camps. 10 different places where you are starved, tortured, and worked mercilessly. It's something no one could imagine surviving. But it is what Yanek Gruener has to face. As a Jewish boy in 1930s Poland, Yanek is at the mercy of the Nazis who have taken over. Everything he has, and everyone he loves, have been snatched brutally from him. And then Yanek himself is taken prisoner -- his arm tattooed with the words PRISONER B-3087. He is forced from one nightmarish concentration camp to another, as World War II rages all around him. He encounters evil he could have never imagined, but also sees surprising glimpses of hope amid the horror. He just barely escapes death, only to confront it again seconds later. Can Yanek make it through the terror without losing his hope, his will -- and, most of all, his sense of who he really is inside? Based on an astonishing true story.

Great story consisting of the harrowing adventure of Yannick and his ability to survive. I initially heard about this book on a Reddit forum and felt like learning about the more personal side of the holocaust. The depth of humanity that people can display during times of great conflict and loss contrasting to the soulless, heartless and unforgivable actions of oppressors is perfectly captured the story of this young man living through the horrors of being a Jew during World War II.

A story of courage and unbreakable spirit

I couldn’t stop. Weather I was rooting for Jack or disgusted by the Germans and others. Perseverance does prevail. Thanks for sharing your story Jack. As for the narrator, good listening but I could have done without the “Yiddish” stereotypical Jewish accent when he spoke for the characters. It was quite irritating at times. If I read the book, there wouldn’t have been that accent so I would have preferred a straight read.

Great story. Such a tale of great things we’re capable of and the worst.
